Your spine surgeon may go for discectomy operation. That should relieve the pressure on the nerve and will solve your problem.

How do you detect a pinched nerve?
Only if the nerve being pinched is being caused by a herniated disk, or other problem which is visible via the scan. However, CT scan with dye (Myelogram) tends to be more effective at showing up problems. In many cases you really don't need a scan, as the nerve path being irritated can tell you which nerve is being pinched. From there, if you can trace it back to the problem origin, you can determine what's causing it if you've had an injury. Even exercising without proper stretching can cause a pinched nerve. A pinched nerve is easy enough to identify - it feels like being stabbed with a heavy gage needle. In those cases where the nerve is being severely pinched (such as a disk herniation) you can literally feel the pain down the entire nerve path. This is why sciatic nerve pinches from a disk herniation can be felt down the back of the legs - that's the nerve pathway. If it doesn't get better or go away after a few days, then there's cause to get it looked at, or if the pain is severe enough that it interferes with daily activity. Most aren't that bad, and can be caused by simply sitting or sleeping in a bad position, even bad posture.
